The short answer
Carnicería Nuñez is planned for 1607 E. McKinney St., Suite 650, in Denton. Owner Carlos Nuñez, who also operates neighboring Toros Tacos, told What Now Dallas that he was waiting on permits and targeting an opening later in 2026. That timing is a target, not a guaranteed opening date, and may change.
A new local food business is planned for East McKinney Street in Denton.
Because the project is still in the permitting and build-out stage, the useful way to cover it is to separate what is confirmed from what is still a target.
Where is Carnicería Nuñez planned?
Public reporting places Carnicería Nuñez at 1607 E. McKinney St., Suite 650, in Denton. Toros Tacos operates in Suite 400 at the same property.
Who is behind the new concept?
What Now Dallas identified Carlos Nuñez as the owner. The report notes that he also operates Toros Tacos and that his family has prior experience with a carnicería.
The Denton concept is expected to focus on a butcher-shop format serving the local community.
When is Carnicería Nuñez expected to open?
The current target is later in 2026. What Now Dallas reported that Nuñez was waiting on permits before beginning interior work. Separate permitting records listed an October 2026 construction-completion estimate.
Those are planning targets, not a guaranteed opening date. Permitting, construction, inspections and business readiness can change the timeline.
Why local business openings matter to homebuyers
A single new business does not determine whether a neighborhood is a good fit, but local openings can tell you something about how commercial corridors are evolving.
For buyers comparing Denton with nearby North DFW communities, look beyond the house itself: daily errands, restaurants, parks, commute patterns, property taxes, HOA costs and the places you are likely to use every week.

If Denton is on your list, I can help you compare resale homes and new construction, monthly costs, commute tradeoffs, neighborhood feel and nearby alternatives.
